Crushing Me from Hunger by Jack Crawford

I try to talk to you
you’re smoking your red bamboo
you listen to my words slur
Jennifer

you cut your hair this morning before school
you say hello, you’re being cruel
in maths I listen to Taylor Swift
I see you listening to The Drift
you dyed your hair this morning before school
I think of telling you that it looks cool
“yellow jokes come out from your mind,
Jennifer, your red hair’s burning”

in the bell jar
I’ll be strumming a broken guitar
in the bell jar
I’ll be pressing a space bar
and when a string breaks and flings into my eye
I’ll sing you a cappella rhymes of goodbye

YOU'RE CRUSHING ME

I try to talk to you
you’re smoking your red bamboo
